About Spokane Xeriscaping

We started Spokane Xeriscaping with a simple belief: your yard should work with Eastern Washington's climate, not against it. For too long, Spokane homeowners have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours trying to keep water-hungry lawns alive through scorching July heat and unpredictable fall frosts — only to watch them go brown anyway. We exist to offer a better alternative.



We are a full-service xeriscape design and installation company proudly serving Spokane and the surrounding Inland Northwest. From the first soil assessment to the final planting, we manage every detail of your project in-house, with no subcontractors and no hand-offs. Our clients get a single dedicated team that sees their vision through from start to finish.

Who We Are

Our team is made up of experienced local designers and landscape professionals who have spent their careers working in Eastern Washington. We know this region's soils, its microclimates, its native plants, and its frost cycles intimately. That local knowledge is the foundation of everything we do — and it's what separates us from general landscapers who treat xeriscaping as an afterthought.

We specialize in water-wise landscape design that is both functional and genuinely beautiful. Whether you're dreaming of a modern desert backyard, a low maintenance desert landscape for your front yard, or a xeriscape garden filled with native xeriscape plants and xeriscape shrubs that thrive through every season, our designers have the expertise to make it happen. We work with residential clients on everything from small backyard desert landscaping ideas to full property transformations, and we serve commercial clients looking to reduce maintenance costs and water overhead across large properties.



Why Xeriscaping Makes Sense in Spokane

Spokane sits in a semi-arid high-desert climate that receives an average of just 16 inches of rainfall per year. Summers are hot and dry, winters bring hard freezes, and water-hungry traditional lawns are genuinely ill-suited to survive here without constant, expensive intervention. Xeriscaping changes that equation entirely.

Homeowners who make the switch to drought tolerant landscaping typically reduce their outdoor water use by up to 60%. For the average Spokane household, that translates to real savings — research shows that water-wise landscape design can reduce annual water bills by $200 to $700 depending on property size and current irrigation habits. And because waterwise plants and water-wise shrubs are selected specifically to thrive in dry, high-desert conditions, ongoing maintenance needs drop dramatically compared to a conventional lawn. Studies indicate that xeriscape landscaping can reduce landscape maintenance time by as much as 50% year over year.

The result is a yard that looks better, costs less to maintain, and holds up through everything Eastern Washington's climate throws at it..

What We Do

Our process is designed to be completely hands-off for you. We begin with a full soil assessment and site analysis, evaluating drainage, sun exposure, and existing vegetation. From there, our designers develop a custom xeriscape garden design built around your aesthetic preferences and your property's specific conditions. We select the best xeriscape plants for Spokane's climate — drought resistant shrubs, water-wise plants, xeriscape grasses, and low-water plants proven to handle both the heat of August and the frost of November.

Once the design is approved, our crew handles full installation: grading, hardscape placement, irrigation adjustment, and planting. When the project is complete, we offer ongoing seasonal maintenance plans to keep your xeriscape landscaping performing beautifully year-round.

Serving the Entire Inland Northwest

From residential yards in Spokane's South Hill and North Side to commercial properties across the Spokane Valley and beyond, we bring the same commitment to quality and water-wise design to every project we take on.

This is our community. We're proud to help it use water more wisely — one beautiful xeriscape at a time.
